Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Joey Wiemer, Colt Emerson’s contract, the idea of “sticking at shortstop,” and pre-arbitration (and pre-debut) extension tendencies, then (29:11) reply listener emails about A.J. Preller buying and selling himself, Harrison Bader and the press convention threshold, plotting to forestall a switch-hitter from batting from each side, no-selling a World Collection ring ceremony, giveaway promotions at each sport, a Craig Kimbrel PitchCom speculation, the highest 5 MLB house owners, pitch-count limits in a World Collection good sport bid, technical fouls in baseball, the aesthetic attraction of platooning, and lifelong .500 franchises.
